I like rain...

When it runs amuck

Dripping through my hair

In rivulets out of control

When it washes away

Worry and care

Melts the lines

Which gather on my face

Like threatening clouds

Thundering over those

I still give a damn about

I like rain...

It washes clean

The detritus of life

Pouring waste

Into drains

Which flow

Into the endless sea...

I like rain...

It frees the air

And makes clear

What obfuscated

The sordid past

Defies what remains

To clarify the future

I like rain...

Let it fall.
